Hallelujah! David Tebbutt has written one of the most profound pieces of common sense that I have seen for a long, long time.
David’s piece is about sidestepping formal structures for effective change and describes how the real world operates, rather than how we might like it to operate.
I believe that people, organisations and systems are complex interactions of behaviour, inconsistency and variety. We can only create effective information systems (and organizations) if we recognise the need for complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity.
The IT-centric paradigm continues to condition too many people into a reductionist approach to every problem, this leads to unexpected cost and disappointment.
The post-IT paradigm is imminent and will depend on thinking such as David’s posting.
